WiFi issues - HTC Droid DNA

Just got this phone and the WiFi connection seems to disconnect every time I'm using it. It recconects in seconds but is annoying because its constantly dropping the connection. Not a router or modem issue because my iPad and my sisters gs3 work just fine with the WiFi. Any solutions?

Router settings:
Authentication method: wpa2-personal
WPA encryption: AES

It has to do with your router. For some reason some routers with some settings do not play nice with the dna.

I forgot to mention, It does not like an unsecured connection

is it doing this all the time or only at night cause HTC included smartsync which does this to data and wifi from like 8pm-6am. If so get https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jonny.smartsyncdisabler from the play store enable it and reboot and problem solved. If you think its your router what model you have because it probably isn't.

Wifi over 4g

The game order and chaos wants a wifi connection to work. Is there a way to make the phone think the #bal is a wifi connection?

You can be a a little more specific here?
Your phone connects to your router (wifi network), yes?
But it won't load any pages or let your browse while having a wifi signal?
Is that the problem you're having?
Yes that's exactly the problem... I've got other things that connect to the router without issue. My Xbox, my computer. But the phone won't do anything once its connected

3g icon showing while on WiFi

So this is probably a dumb question but I have nevr had it happen before. My DNA the last couple days intermittently has been showing the 3g icon even while I'm connected to WiFi. I'm not sure but is that a bad thing or not?

If you send or receive a MMS while on WiFi your data will come on for a second or 2

Thank you. I honestly wasn't aware of that. And I was sending a panorama photo I had just taken around that time. Good to know.

I have the same thing happening but it's on 4G and 3G sometimes, usually it doesn't show any data transmission but just seems to stay on doing nothing for several minutes. Mine does stay on until I shut off my mobile network and when I turn the mobile network back on it stays off. With no text messages or anything going through.

Polling rate?

Is there a way to modify the wifi and mobile network polling rates? My phone dies like a dog at work due to no reception.
Thanks

Wi-Fi scan is a tweak in build.prop. There is a app called .prop tweaker or editor I believe.
Idk about network though

Whenever I'm in a poor signal area I just turn off mobile data and wifi. That way you don't have to worry about your radio constantly searching for better signals when your not even using it.

Yea just turn off data and WiFi. I saved HUGE amounts of battery doing that in bad signal area

I just turn my phone off completely. Great battery life, and I never have to worry about it searching for signal. Bonus: with all the new kernels popping up, when my phone is turned off it sleeps like a sloth.
Try it out!
Appreciate the replies but i use offline apps all day so i can't power down.
Anyone else know?

Wifi problem. [solved]

I have been seeing this issue with my phone for 3 days. I will connect to my home wifi and it will have a strong signal in my room. But then randomly it will disconnect and then reconnect and it disrupts me if I'm using my wifi. It does this often. I'm going to go stream some music in another part of my house and see if it cuts out there or of it only does it in my room I'm not sure right now. But does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so it stops doing this.

So I think I got this figured out. I recently changed the security on my router to WPA/PSK and this is when my dna started acting up. I temporarily removed the security key and now it's not doing it. I guess I will throw a WEP key on and see if it disconnects and reconnects.

Ok looks like I solved my own problem. I changed my security to WEP and it has stopped disconnecting. I guess the dna just doesn't get along with WPA/PSK or at least mine doesn't.

It seems to be router specific. I have 2 routers in my house. Both are wpa, one will drop out from time to time on my and the other one doesnt.

Well it's working now so I'm all set. I saw some posts on a verizon forum of people having the exact same problem with WPA. So yeah probably just my router.
